The Commonwealth Classic 2013 - "Whitey Net Bulgers"

Boston Bike Polo is proud to host the annual Commonwealth Classic, a 3 vs. 3 tournament at our legendary Harvard pickup court in Allston, Massachusetts. 16 teams will be welcomed for a weekend of sweet wind-down-from-the-2013-"season" vibes, a shit ton of polo, bulging nets, a cash prize, (hopefully) some beautiful New England autumn weather, g pening, your guaranteed to be fully torqued and shermed up. So come from far and wide, from your commonwealth to ours to have a chance to win the coveted Commonwealth Cup.

This tournament is the weekend after the "World Championship" in Miami. We are pleased to offer housing available for folks who need it. Please email Addison to request space with one of our club members.

I think Ill be able to make this! Ill play some pickup if I dont get picked up but I would totally be stoked to play!

The catch: I am bike touring across North America so I wont have my own steed and the remains of my mallet will stay in Canada.

in case anyone is playing polo fairy, i swing a 43" mallet and prefer a rear V-brake on flat pedals cause im old school like that. But I'd rock whatever is available.

Like I said we are looking for a 3rd and you would be welcome to play with us. Might be hard to find a bike for you though. We don't have many players with extra bikes. I'll check around. Are you confident you will be in Boston for the tournament?

Hey Phil, I was having a really hard time finding a bike for you and a third from our club came through for us. Sorry about that, at least you can take your time though coming over the Berkshires! You are still certainly welcome to stay with me and party with us.

Hey Boston, we're coming to town (excitedly!) Friday night but our housing guy still hasn't gotten back to us. Can someone give Tyler a gentle nudge for us please. My GPS, sleeping habits and the customs and immigration folks like some specificity of address.

Where were you Jeff?! They had a few flake-outs and there was room for more teams! And you missed me do an awesome 360 flying pivot. Which really just means my skinny ass got taken out (cleanly) as someone merely rode by me. We did manage 3rd though. Boston bike polo were awesome. And seriously fun to take some heat from some of the big guns present.

Henry from Vancouver and Hamersly from Lex were playing with Tobi for most of the day but towards the end, Tobi got fed up with both of them for sucking after being dropped to the loser's bracket. He kicked them off the team.

Nate, Zack and I played the final against Tobi alone and he simultaneously screened us all out and 5-0'ed us. With sweatpants tucked into socks with marijuana leaves on them. When he was up 4 goals on us, he said "I'm going to 5-0 you S-O-Bs". Then he did.

Apparently if he untucks the sweatpants from the socks it causes a black hole which vortexes every ball he touches into his opponents' net, and also tears any challengers limb from limb thanks to the sheer cosmic force. Luckily nobody had to die on Sunday and Tobi kept his outfit in one piece.

haha, I thought it may have been a lamp. I'm not sure if anyone managed to pick up a single knee pad I may have dropped on Sunday. If you did, I would happily pay for postage and for your trouble a couple frosty drinks if you would mail post it for me.
